The Washington Huskies played an important Pac-12 game
against the USC Trojans. The Huskies had to win to stay in the race since they
had lost already to the California Bears.
The Huskies won 28-14. The difference was the Huskies scoring
14 points in the first quarter without giving up any points. Also, the Huskies defense caused three
interceptions including a big one in the third quarter. USC had just run the
ball for 59 yards by running back Stephen Carr; however, quarterback Matt Fink
threw an interception. On the second play after the reception Huskies running
back, Salvon Ahmed went 89-yards to score. A swing of 14 points; had the Trojans
scored it would have put them within seven points.
The Seattle Mariners were shutout by the Oakland A’s Saturday
night 1-0. It was the second loss in a row for starter Marco Gonzales who was
trying for his 17th win on the season. So he has to settle for 16.
The previous start he didn’t have run support either losing 2-1.
The one run the A’s got was a home run from right fielder
Ramon Laureano in the third inning. It was Laureano’s 24th home run
of the season. Both teams had six hits on the night.
Gonzales went seven innings for the Mariners giving him 203
on the season his highest in the major leagues. He ends the season with a
record of 16-13 with an ERA of 3.99.
The Mariners had two runners on base with two outs in the 9th
inning but Tim Lopes pop out to end the game. The Mariners haven’t scored any
more than one run in their last six games except the win Friday night when they
did a comeback to beat the A’s 4-3. The win for the A’s means the wildcard game
against Tampa Bay will take place in Oakland.
Justin Dunn will start Sunday the last game of the season
against the A’s. Tommy Milone who was supposed to follow Dunn is hurt so it
will be the bullpen the rest of the way.
My next two stories on the Mariners will be the final game
Sunday followed by the recap of the season.
The Utah Utes beat the Washington State Cougars at home
38-13. The Cougars were only able to score a touchdown along with two fields.
The Utes shutout the Cougars in the second half while scoring 17 points
themselves after leading 21-13 at half-time; this was the second loss in a row
with the Cougars losing to UCLA last weekend.
The Cougars have next weekend off before facing Arizona State
on the road the following Saturday. The
Cougars are 3-2 overall but have a 0-2 mark in the Pac-12 conference. It will be
important the Cougars get back on track.
